Business & farm

Ignore the nomenclature / language in the disposition area.

Here are my comments:

  • As a shareholder in an S corp you should have been maintaining a basis schedule of your investment in the S corporation.
  • Additionally, the "loans" you made to cover expenses will most likely be deemed capital contributions by the IRS, so treat them as such.
  • You need to update your basis schedule for the current year K-1 activity; excluding any distributions reflected on the K-1.  Technically there probably shouldn't be any as liquidating distributions should not be reported on the K-1, but on a 1099-DIV.
  • Any cash distribution to you from the S corporation is deemed a liquidating distribution
  • When TT asks for your cost basis, that is your basis in the S corporation
  • Sales proceeds will be your liquidating distribution
  • TT will handle the rest
